As a fellow Palaweño and Commissioner-at-Large of the @NYCPilipinas, I am deeply alarmed and outraged by the recent report from China Daily, an official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, which publicly accused three young Palaweños

As National Youth Commissioner, I will work to ensure that this issue remains part of the national youth agenda.

BFAR Aircraft with PCG personnel Completes Maritime Domain Awareness Flights in Bajo De Masinloc
The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) together with the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) successfully conducted Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) flights using aircraft RP-1077, departing from Subic Airport. The mission focused on monitoring the Philippine Government vessels providing fuel subsidies and food packs to fishing boats in the Bajo de Masinloc (BDM) area.
Upon arrival at approximately 0940H this morning, the aircraft monitored four BFAR vessels and two PCG vessels, as well as around twenty-six fishing boats. Additionally, five China Coast Guard vessels and one People's Liberation Army Navy (PLA-N) vessel were observed in the vicinity.
Following a second sortie at 1228H, the aircraft confirmed a floating barrier at the southeastern entrance of BDM and detected an unidentified PLA-Naval Air Force helicopter nearby. The mission underscored BFAR and PCG’s commitment to maritime safety and support for Filipino fishermen.

Borrowing from JFK's famous line, and I quote, "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country".
We turn this into a challenge for today's youth: "this is our generation's responsibility"
#AtinIto#WeProtectourSeas#DefendWPS
Engaging the students of Tarlac State University earlier at the Kilos ng Kabataan West Philippine Sea Symposium, a common theme sprung out of the conversations; "What is the youth's benefit from this endeavor?"
#AtinIto#WeProtectourSeas#DefendWPS
I reflected on this and it dawned on me that more than the perceived benefits, it is a responsibility we must take. The threat that we face isn't in some unforeseeable future, it is happening now. As its stewards, we must take immediate action.
